EMORY OPENS FOR
SPRING TERM.
Begins Term With Brighter Pros¬
pects Than in Many Years,
With More New Faces.
Emory college re-opened Tuesday
morning of last week with a large at¬
tendance. The students, after a very
pleasant vacation, have practically
all returned to take up their college
work, and new ones added to the
already large list.
The past fall has been an unusually
successful term. President James E.
Dickey has made the remark that
thus far the term has been the most
profitable one since he has been at
the head of the institution.
The spring term holds oufr ever,
brighter prospects than the one just
ended, as many new men from all
parts of the state have announced
their intention of entering college in
February.

, LOUIS ZEITLIN, C. of R.
Chinese Methods.
M. Monnier. the French Asiatic
traveler, vouched for the truth of the
following story of how his friend.
Hop Siug, a man of means and re¬
finement, was ou one occasion sorely
victimized. Hop Sing lived in the
street, of the roasted corn, as un¬
savory and as ill paved a street as
any in all Fekin. The local manda¬
rin was an Intimate friend of his, and
flop Slag availed himself of this
friendship to press the mandarin to
have the street repaved. Certainly,
at once. The men would be at work
ou it before Hop Sing could get back
home. A week passed, then another
visit, and so on until, in despair. Hop
Sing determined to have the street re¬
paired at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
The surprise of Hop Sing was only
equaled by his indignation when on
awakening one morning he found a
gang of coolies upheaving the newly
flagged street. His surprise grew
when he heard from the mandarin’s
own lips that the men were there at
his orders.
“You see, my dear friend,’’ said the
mandarin, “I am expecting the head
inspector around here in a few days.
Now, if he were to see the beautiful
pavement you have laid down iu your
street he would come to the conclu¬
sion that there was money about, and
he would assuredly bleed every vein
in my body. This would mean my
ruin. Don’t you see why your pave¬
ment really must come up? It cost me
one fortune to secure my post. I don’t
want to spend another In keeping it.”

THE
COVINGTON jOTTLING
WORKS GROWING.
Mr. Fowler Is Doing 6 Much to Put Up
A Better Class of Goods.—Busi¬
ness Increasing Rapidly.
The Covington Bottling Worksf un¬
der the management of Mr. A. S.
Fowler, who is so well and favorably
known to the people of this vicinity,
is one of the growing enterprises of
Covington, and this year will, from
all appearances, be the banner year
of this concern.
Mr. Fowler is manufacturing many
high-class sodas, among which is Co
ca-Nola, Ginger and Lemon. His
trade is rapidly growing and the class
of goods being put out by him is bet¬
ter than ever before.
He expects to begin the manufac¬
ture of Viva, one of the best drinks
made, in a few days and will be in a
position to serve this popular drink to
the dealers in a short time.
This is one of the home enterprises
that should receive the patronage of
the people in preference to the bot¬
tlers of sodas from other towns.
Col. J. F. Rogers City Attorney.
At the last meeting of the mayor
and council Mr. J. F. Rogers was re¬
elected as city attorney for the pres¬
ent year, and will have charge of the
legal affairs of the city.
Mr. Rogers is one of the best posted
attorneys in this city and will make
the city a splendid official.

The stockholders of the Bank of
Newton County held their meeting
last Tuesday in the offices of the bank
and elected their officers for the year.
In going over the business of the
bank it was found to be in an unusu¬
ally good condition and the stock¬

which was declared at this meeting.
The gentlemen elected for directors
are, J. W. Anderson, D. J. Adams,

which speaks well for the bank for the
coming year.

The Charm of New York.
New York ought by most artistic
standards of the past to be hideous.
Instead (as I made up my mind, with
a shock of pleasure, a few weeks
ago) she is as beautiful, as individual
almost, as Venice. Of course there are
her sky and her atmosphere. Even a
regular old frump of a city could wear
a spurious charm when golden wine of
sunshine dripped over her from a
crystal cup studded with turquoise or
in a sunset such as heaven and Turner
alone could conceive, glittering like a
heap of jewels behind a veil of sprin¬
kled gold dust. But the startling, bi¬
zarre beauty of New York could exist
even in a London fog.
What is there to say of a vast city
where all the architectures of the
world and some that were never seen
(anywhere else) on land or sea rub
shoulders together? Would you not
think that they would refuse to speak
to each other, even If they didn’t fight
in disastrous battle dreadful to wit¬
ness? But go to New York and see.
I said to myself as I drove about
New York that the gay, colorful city
was like a huge flower garden where
the gardener had sown his seeds any¬
how—crimson hollyhocks, golden sun¬
flowers, dainty pinks, modest violets,
tall white lilies, larkspurs, pansies and
a thousand other early things heltpr
skelter, leaving them to come up all
among each other as they chose, and
Instead of the experiment being a fail¬
ure It turned out a glorious success.—

WELLS FRUIT PUNCH
IS A WINN!
Although This Popular Beverage
Is In Its Infancy. The Sales
Are Enormous.
One of the editors of the News was a
visitor to the bottling plant of clever 4
and genial Tom Wells the other day
and while there tried a bottle of his
Fruit Punch, of which Mr. Wells is
the originator and sole proprietor.
He started last year on the formula
of this beverage and spent quite a
good deal of time in its preparation.
On the first of last April he began the
manufacture of the article in its fin¬
ished form and since that time the
sales have rapidly grown to flattering
proportions.
The Fruit Punch is different from
anything else bottled anywhere in
this section and has a flavor peculiarly
its own. The fact that he has sold
19,000 bottles from April first last
year to January first this year is an
index to the proportion of sales during
the present season. Mr. Wells is a
business pusher and we predict for
Fruit Punch a rapidly increasing
business, both locally and outside of
the confines of this section.
A Glutton for Work.
The British civil service during the f
middle of the last century was a de¬
lightful place for young gentlemen who
wished a “job” with nothing to do.
Mr. Arthur W. A’Becket iu his “Recol¬
lections of a Humorist” describes his
first day in the war office. After read¬
ing the Times through—no short task—
and listening to the conversation of his
colleagues for awhile he ventured to
address his chief.
“Can I do anything?” I asked. “Is
there anything for me to do?”
He seemed a little perplexed. The
other denizens of the room paused for
a moment in their conversation to hear
his reply. It seemed to me that they
appeared to be amused. My chief look¬
ed at me and then at the papers in
front of him.
“Ah!” said he at last, with a sigh of
relief. “Are you fond of indexing?”
I replied I was fond of anything and
everything that could be of the slight¬
est service to my country. If those
were not the exact words I used, that
was the spirit of my answer.
“I see, a glutton for work,” observed
my chief, with a smile that found re¬
flection on the faces of my other col¬
leagues. “Well, A’Becket, just index
this pile of circulars.”
I seized upon the bundle and return¬
ed to my desk. Oh, how I worked at
those circulars! There were hundreds
of them, and I docketed them with the
greatest care and entered their purport
Into a book. From time to time my
official chief, so to speak, looked in
upon me to see how I was getting on.
“I say,” said he, “there’s no need to
be in such a desperate hurry. I am
not in immediate need of the index.
You can take your time, you know.
Wouldn’t you like a stroll in the park?
Most of us have a little walk during
the day. We none of us stand on cere¬
mony and are quite a happy family.”
But, no; I stuck to my indexing and
after some three days of fairly hard
work found my labors done. I took up
the bundle of circulars, now in apple
pie order, and laid them on my chief’s
desk.
“I say, A’Beeket,” said he, "this
won’t do. You are too good a fellow to
be allowed to cut your own throat, and
for your brother’s sake I will give you
a tip. Don’t do more than you are
asked to do. Now, I gave you those
circulars to Index because you would
bother me for work. I didn’t want the
index. Now it’s done it’s not the least
bit of use to me. Of course it may
come in useful some day, but I scarce¬
ly see how it can, as the lot are out of
date. But of course It may,” he added
to save my feelings.
